Chicken Over Veggies
Recently a new show was submitted for inclusion on The Overnightscape Underground – “Chicken Over Veggies” starring Komp, Chescu, and Mas Borracho. I listened to the first episode, and though it was a difficult decision, I chose not to add the show to the channel.
This experiment of ours, with multiple hosts doing shows here on Onsug, has been going since about September 2009. I never planned any of it – it just sort of happened, and I welcomed it. Now, there are a lot of shows on the channel, all very different, yet all very similar in some undefinable way.
So this is the first time I’ve had to reject a show. I knew it had to happen eventually, and it feels awful to be a kind of “censor”. But I feel strongly that The Overnightscape Underground has a tone, an identity, a feel – that while kind of impossible to pin down, is there. So though it’s uncomfortable for me, I do have to start to define the boundaries of tone and content.
Here’s a link to the show in question so you can check it out:

And here’s the show’s site with the second episode already up:

I do think it’s a good show, but at the same time, for me the level of “offensive” content is so high that I am not comfortable with it being on the channel – it has a very different feel than the other shows here.
Let me know what you think… did I make the right choice?
